I believe he is, but some argue that Jim Brown is better as a running back, even though he didn't get as many yards. Also, Emmit Smith has passed Walter Payton's record for yards, but he wasn't play well the year he broke it, because he was just hanging on, but I stand by Walter 100%.

Walter Payton is widely regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time, but the title of "the greatest" is subjective and can vary depending on personal opinion. Payton's combination of skill, versatility, and longevity make him a strong contender for the title, but arguments can also be made for other legendary running backs like Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and Emmitt Smith. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and the criteria used to determine greatness.
